The Great Emancipators: How The Civil War Openly Became about Slavery

On this episode of Our American Stories, Emma McCormick tells us how she was told she'd be working remotely in 2020, so she decided to live on a sailboat in Florida. Regular contributor Jon Elfner and Dr. Kate Masur, author of "Until Justice Be Done," tell the story behind Abraham Lincoln that begins with three runaway enslaved people. P.J. Hill, rancher and co-author of “The Not So Wild, Wild West: Property Rights on the Frontier,” explains the misunderstanding behind the American West.
